Howell says he met with Steve Allen, Sr, CEO and Founder of Premier Group back in November. Allen was seeking a charter service partnership for Birmingham. Since then Howell discovered the two companies shared similar values, culture, and complimentary strengths that seemed to be a good match. He decided CFM would team with them. Founded in 1982, Corporate Flight Management fleet has grown to include locations in Tennessee, NY, CT and MS. with 180 employees. Their managed aircraft are centrally dispatched from Smyrna, TN. Howell says Premier Group located on the West ramp at the Birmingham International airport represents a chance to repeat the Tennessee success.
Howell says that Alabama has always been of interest to him to do business since he is from Montgomery and attended AUM. After graduation, he joined his father in Tennessee and was the first employee of CFM 30 years ago. He now runs the company and his father has his own flight school. Allen says Premier Group, begun in 1976, is a family business and has been in continuous service in Birmingham.
